DEPTH ADJUSTMENT (FIG. 4)
Loosen the depth-adjustment lever located
between the guard and handle of saw. Hold
the foot down with one hand and use the
handle to raise or lower the saw. Align the
bottom contour of depth-adjustment lever with
the desired depth-cut mark on the calibrated
depth bracket and tighten the lever. Check
desired depth (Fig. 1).
Not more than one tooth length of the blade
should extend below the material to be cut to
minimize splintering (Fig. 4).
90° CUTTING ANGLE CHECK (FIG. 5)
Set the foot to the maximum depth-of-cut
setting. Loosen the bevel-adjustment lever,
set the bevel indicator to 0° on quadrant,
retighten the lever, and use a square to check
for 90° angle between the blade and bottom
plane of foot.
Use a 3/32" Allen wrench to make
adjustments, if necessary, by turning the
small alignment screw from bottom side of
the foot (Fig. 5).
BEVEL ADJUSTMENT (FIG. 6)
The foot can be adjusted up to 51°. Loosen
the bevel-adjustment lever at the front
of the saw, align to desired angle on the
calibrated quadrant, and then tighten the
bevel-adjustment lever (Fig. 5). For bevel
adjustments greater than 45°, loosen the
bevel-adjustment lever, depress the 45° stop
spring (Fig. 7), align the foot to desired angle
mark over 45° on the quadrant, and tighten
the lever. For maximum stability during bevel
cuts use the fixed auxiliary handle for your
second-hand position. If using the removable
auxiliary handle, verify that handle clears
workpiece prior to making cut and only apply a
pushing force to it during the cut.
WARNING
